"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Top Alcock Tarn Hotel Reviews

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Victorian house. Would definitely consider staying again if we return to the Lake District. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel was beautifully decorated. Our little dog also enjoyed her holiday, mainly because of the sausages at breakfast! The Cake available in reception was a lovely touch."

Beck Allans Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and a fantastic location. Friendly hosts highly recommend"

Rydal Hall Christian Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Superb location, lovely and comfortable place to stay. Will stay again"

Paradise in the Lake District.

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is in a location, on the hillside, amongst trees and overlooking a wildlife pond.The onsite swimming pool was appreciated by our grandson, he loved it. Despite being on a holiday "site" it is quiet and feels secluded.It is well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable.We would not normally stay in a property on a site, and didn't realise this one was, but we would not hesitate to return."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable stay Highly recommended and intend to stay again next year"

The Britannia Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, helpful staff and excellent food."

Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely, very relaxing and quaint. The only problem with the weekend was actually locating the property, the post code isn't recognised and the property really is in the woods, none of the locals had heard of it when we asked at pubs / shops etc. A hard copy in the post with few a photos of landmarks en-route (pub, car parks, entrance to country lanes etc) to form a pictorial guide would help tremendously. Note the mobile reception in the area is quite iffy, print off all the instructions given by Sue the host.Also, when using the Vrbo app, the number / link given to contact the host said not recognized. All the above taken into consideration, the property and area really are worth a visit."

Moss Grove Organic

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, lovely chilled environment, fab breakfast and friendly staff, really recommend this place. It is such a shame it is being developed into apartments later in the year taking all the character away."

The Langdale Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing hotel. Gary gave the smoothest check in ever. Amy in Stove was incredibly hospitable and was one of the reasons our stay was so good. The spa was fantastic."
